Ty Townsend Poet Light Verse

Perspective

The world doesn’t owe you anything-
It’s too busy collecting debt. 
Nothing new is under the sun-
Ideas from old influence today. 
No one really knows the turns of life. 
We make it up as we go along. 
What do you expect? 
We’re only human, right? 
Ask anybody.

Su Ben January 5, 2015 at 7:36 PM I felt like reading some verses from Ecclesiastes. I like the line, "What do you expect?" whole of wit and wisdom, right? right!
